Bad behavior of China stores

Do you think that shopping is a very amazing thing? I think it is,but not always.In China we have many choices to get one thing.there are so many stores,we can go here and there.But why we go to this store instead of that one?It’s not a easy question.

Now let’s take a look at the behavior of some stores.Music is a very beautiful ting,I agree,so many stores broadcast popular music to attract customers,usually it is so loudly and heavily that many people can even not approach the store.Then what happened?They lost much money. Good smell is also very important,nor every one like the same smells,when you think it smells good,others do not agree.I don’t like to go to the store that the air is not clean.It makes me upset and comfortless.Some of the stores are not clean,so I don’t think they sell good things,some of the stores are in a mess that we can’t find tings we need,some of the stores are not honest so we are worried to be cheated.There are so many problems in the stores of China.But they get better than erer before,and I hope that one day we can go to all the stores to have a nice shopping because all the stores have a perfect performance.

cafes in Paris


Café Le Paris

Where: 93, ave des Champs Élysées, 8th Métro stop: George V. Price : 11 F
Le Paris probably has the least expensive coffee on all of of the Champs Élysées. Rather than a tourist place - and the Champs Élysées is full of them of course - Le Paris has a clientel of regulars. These are people who work on the Champs, people from CCF which is just a few metres up the street, as well as other businesses. The waiters and proprietor are friendly and know their customers. Overall, it is a a small oasis from the tourists outside.

be a volunteer travel

Got your break planned yet? If you're thinking you'd like to make a difference with your time, think about taking a break with an i-to-i volunteer vacation. Conserve a lake in Guatemala or build homes for Honduran families with a little pre-planning; if you want sun splashed sand, spend time on a Costa Rican beach, working with sea turtles. See a piece of the planet and come home with a new perspective on what you can do with your world travel time.
US college students are increasingly seeking out short-term meaningful experiences by lending a helping hand, according to
i-to-i Volunteer Travel. The international volunteer vacation provider does more than half of its business each year with student travel and is experiencing 40-50 percent annual growth in numbers of student vacation volunteers.
"College students are finding that they are able to give a gift that transcends gift-wrapped packages," says Lee Ann Johnson, managing director. At the same time, she says, volunteer vacations help them gain real-world experience, explore career options and strengthen resumes.
Participants in volunteer vacations can obtain valuable field experience in fields including marketing, journalism, teaching, fundraising, social services, and management, says Johnson. In many cases, students pursuing a volunteer vacation can earn college credit, with the volunteer vacation provider working with both the student and academic advisor. Providers such as i-to-i also offer training certification courses to prepare students to Teach English as a Foreign Language (TEFL).
i-to-i volunteers can choose from a wide variety of destinations, from India to Ireland or Costa Rica to Croatia. Volunteer opportunities range from teaching English to performing cultural and ecological conservation or constructing homes. Vacation choices can be as short as intense one-to-three week trips or as long as 24 weeks, says Johnson, creating opportunities for individual preferences. i-to-i also provides a select number of opportunities in which participants can earn money teaching English.
"“For college students looking to do more than sleep in late and visit with myriad aunts, uncles, and cousins over winter, spring or summer break, the volunteer vacation can help them learn about their careers, their world, and themselves," says Johnson. In addition, all i-to-i volunteer vacations are fully supported by trained work and travel advisors, paid in-country coordinators, airport pick-up and orientation, 24-hour emergency back-up, and comprehensive travel and health insurance tailored for the volunteer vacation experience. You're in safe hands!
The Details i-to-i Volunteer Travel is an international volunteer vacation organization, specializing in helping disadvantaged communities and ecosystems around the world. The company arranges placements of 1-24 weeks in teaching, conservation, community work, building and a variety of other projects in more than 20 countries. Founded in 1994 with international headquarters in Leeds, England, i-to-i North America is based in Denver, Colorado. To date, the company has brought nearly 10,000 volunteers together in projects around the world. For more information about upcoming volunteer vacation opportunities, visit the website at

booking page carefully.
Find
projects that appeal to you (surfing in South Africa?!). You bet - teaching kids to surf is a rewarding activity. As are:
Eco/Environment
Archeology/Anthropology
Healthcare
TV/Radio/Print Communications
Social Work
Language Building/Learning Building
Choices, choices - $1000 to Cancun for frolic in the sun or $1000 to teach a kid to speak Engish? Either might be equally rewarding - give volunteering vacations some thought. You'll still head for exotic locales with i-to-i, drink the local brew and perhaps hang out on the beach - but you'll have made a difference in someone's life. Best of luck.
